karolist··on MinIO repository is no longer maintained
I've moved my SaaS I'm developing to SeaweedFS, it was rather painless to do it. I should also move away from minio-go SDK to just use the generic AWS one, one day. No hard feelings from my side to MinIO team though.
karolist··on GLM-5: Targeting complex systems engineering and long-horizon agentic tasks
The amount of times benchmarks of competitors said something is close to Claude and it was remotely close in practice in the past year: 0
karolist··on I started programming when I was 7. I'm 50 now and the thing I loved has changed
Was this text run through LLM before posting? I recognize that writing style honestly; or did we simply speak to machines enough to now speak like machines?
karolist··on Start all of your commands with a comma (2009)
Interesting, though I never had enough custom scripts to justify this, I prefer oh-my-zsh plugin style short aliases instead, i.e. https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/tree/master/plugins/git
karolist··on What has Docker become?
it's a parody of the infamous https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224
karolist··on What has Docker become?
Sir, this is a Docker, not Dropbox
karolist··on What is the nicest thing a stranger has ever done for you?
My old BMW GS (motorcycle) engine jumped timing chain for whatever reason and completely gave up the ghost on a busy highway in Poland, a random motorcyclist on a streetbike saw the white smoke cloud and understood what happened to me as I coasted to the side of the road, he stopped, asked a few details and said "get on your bike, I'll push you to the nearest shop". I didn't speak Polish and his English was not great too, but we managed to understand each other. To this day I do not know how he managed, but he was able to control the gas on his bike, align himself to the back and off the side of my bike and kept giving me these push impulses so I could keep moving, and moving we were, we travelled ~6 miles to safety doing ~30mph, I thanked him and we went out separate ways. This experience feels surreal, I literally didn't spend any time in danger lingering on a busy road side or waiting for a trailer, which can take hours.
karolist··on Hyundai Paywalls Brake Pads replacement on Ioniq 5 N
You needed software to replace rear brake pads on Audis with electronic parking brake since about 2004 or whenever they introduced C6. It's not a big deal and could be done with VAG-com, but that means any small garage with mechanic who can just turn nuts and bolts won't be able to do it.

"Yes. You need vag to disable the electronic parking brake in the rear. The piston cannot be pressed into the caliper if the park brake is not disabled. "

karolist··on JetKVM – Control any computer remotely
I love this little thing. In case someone uses ESRack system, here's the bracket I designed you can print https://www.printables.com/model/1359418-esrack-module-jetkv...
karolist··on Qwen-Image: Crafting with native text rendering
do you mean https://github.com/pollockjj/ComfyUI-MultiGPU? One GPU would do the computation, but others could pool in for VRAM expansion, right? (I've not used this node)
karolist··on Qwen3-Coder: Agentic coding in the world
I have 4x3090 (96GB) and 128GB DDR4 RAM, can I run unsloth on this machine and utilize all 4 GPUs?

RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell has 96GB VRAM.
karolist··on GTK Krell Monitors
Thanks for the memory lane drive. I used to run this on FreeBSD desktop under fluxbox wm wayyy back, I think in 2004. So cool.
karolist··on Image to 3D
is this a wrapper to https://github.com/Tencent/Hunyuan3D-1/?
karolist··on An Introduction to Solid Queue for Ruby on Rails
this is really cool and I'd love to use it, but it seems they only support workers written in Go if I'm not mistaken? My workers can be remote and not using Go, behind a NAT too. I want a them to periodically pull the queue, this way I do not need to worry about network topology. I guess I could simply interface with PG atomically via a simple API endpoint for the workers to connect, but I'd love to have the UI of riverqueue.
karolist··on RybbitL Open source Google Analytics replacement
ah, that explains it, I think. I expected them to sessionize the file transfers under one unique somehow still, even without JS.
karolist··on CLion Is Now Free for Non-Commercial Use
I gave them a year of subscriptions before cancelling recently, the devcontainer implementation in their Ultimate versions is laughably bad, bugs upon bugs and tickets where their support staff just bounces it up with "still no fix" messages and customers are finding workarounds, i.e. downgrading docker installs.

Remote SSH is terrible too, handles network latency spikes by repeating keystrokes. I remember spending an evening trying to fix something in the integrated shell and giving up, but sadly forgot what. I like what they do with Go though. Anyway, back to nvim here, not for me.

karolist··on RybbitL Open source Google Analytics replacement
I'm hosting my blog on cloudflare pages, it's analytics show 80 or so uniques every day consistently even though I barely write there. Installed Umami - 0 visitors. None. Internet is just LLM crawlers hungry for content now?
karolist··on Show HN: Real-time AI Voice Chat at ~500ms Latency
You don't need a 512GB mac studio for this, TTS latency would be worse than 16GB 5080.

karolist··on Teaching LLMs how to solid model
I wanted to use this process (LLM -> OpenSCAD) a few months ago to create custom server rack brackets (ears) for externally mounting water-cooling radiator of the server I am building. I ended up learning about 3D printing, using SolidWorks (it has great built-in tutorials) and did this the old fashioned way. This process may work for refining parts against very well known objects, i.e. iPhone, but the amount of refinement, back and forth and verbosity needed, the low acceptance rate - I do not believe we're close to using these tools for CAD.
karolist··on Generate videos in Gemini and Whisk with Veo 2
Went to the cinema with my kids for the 2nd time to watch this one, was pleasantly surprised to read this movie was done using Blender, highly recommended.
karolist··on Googler... ex-Googler
Is it a SaaS? Phone app? Hardware device? Not looking for specifics, just intrigued by your post to understand what tech category the product is.
karolist··on Googler... ex-Googler
how's that going for you?
karolist··on Listening habits and effects of background music in people with and without ADHD
"or just use audio" - can you elaborate?
karolist··on The political economy of Manus AI
Money is just an expression of value, either delivered already or promised to be delivered in the future. I can certainly imagine a world where everyone sits back and all the value they require is delivered by robots, they who have better or more robots get more value.
karolist··on The political economy of Manus AI
It is. They built a non-American AI with American AI and some other parts.
karolist··on AMD YOLO
Yes, but that's just his personality. His mind seems to be racing at 200mph whilst the output device (hands, keyboard etc) can't keep up, so some context gets dropped here and there. I remember I had a hard time watching his streams because he'd type at 160wpm or so, but half of the keypresses were correcting mistakes...
karolist··on Nvidia's RTX 5090 power connectors are melting
E39 beacon of reliability, is this sarcasm? I really can't tell
